asciilifeform: phf: supposedly tmobile keeping 2g alive for another 2y
asciilifeform: verily
asciilifeform: hmm.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'supaplex', msdos
asciilifeform: aha, is the point
asciilifeform: su underground film translators simply had no access to subbing gear
asciilifeform: i suspect there's su-era nostalgia keeping the thing alive. sorta how in jp old farts are ~100% of whale meat market, because mcarthur fed it to'em back in the day
asciilifeform: so, even worse.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: traditional ru dub is either 1 voice, or ('classy!') 2, male/female
asciilifeform: and thus the box can breed copies of self
asciilifeform: btw i oughta say a word re how rockchiptron reproduces. i wrote a bit of script, ./breed_boot.sh /dev/sd_whatever_cardreader_with_card_in_it -- produces copy of the boot card ; ./breed_root.sh /dev/large_enuff_disk copies the root partition contents onto a new part on said disk
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: rockchip can drive a single usb3 disk, with appropriate cable.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: this was a q for ben_vulpes , who has seen what's in the rack and knows if any empty holes
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 113bux on lolazon
asciilifeform: btw folx, today is absolute last day for 'i want $custom-iron'
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i can procure, if you say which; but gotta have concrete plan .
asciilifeform: we dun have 1G/s yet, tho.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if you want to include a mechanical hdd or 2 in the cargo, it is not too late
asciilifeform: was exactly asciilifeform's thought
asciilifeform: *used to
asciilifeform: my local drmengele is, believe or not, the opposite : 'you dun need it' -- proceeds to drill without painkiller. asciilifeform -- used it it by nao
asciilifeform: ^ this is what american dentists do much of the time
asciilifeform: quite the opposite, in fact
asciilifeform: as i understand this even is brainrot from 10y ago; present-day rubyists do not even see the x.y.ago.ago.ago , but 'program' in 'libraries' written by same ( or perhaps even by a generation of 2 of 'programmers in libraries' )
asciilifeform: '... But managing public keys is hard for most users ... The reality is that most people do not want to run their own web servers or social network nodes. They want to engage with the web through friendlier platforms' << sop prikokeism , snoar
asciilifeform was waiting for somebody to 'i was waiting for that'
asciilifeform: rather than ruby per se
asciilifeform: phf: i looked in my notes, this was mistake : story concerned actually 'rails', a library for same
asciilifeform: 'Tick off Facebook and you may be unable to work, date, or listen to music.' << lolwaat
asciilifeform: nuffing new under the sun : obscurantist claptrap with 'arcane tech' flavouring was hip in 16th c ! consider the court alchemists.
asciilifeform spoke with several folx who make a living in it, they all 'wtf go download prebuilt vm'
asciilifeform: funnily enuff ~nobody alive knows how to actually build a ruby interpreter from src ☟︎
asciilifeform: these opensores folx seem to exist to make ye olde microshit look compact, bug-free, runnable
asciilifeform: aa it wasn't a 'noo, dun do it!11', but a 'i tried, never got even helloworld'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at one point i wanted to run the client for 1 of these ( i forget which, maybe 'mastodon' ) and barfed : GB of ruby
asciilifeform: 'here you can have a stock kernel tarball' 'here have a stock gcc' 'but can i rebuild the contents of $box?' '...'
asciilifeform: ^ and for that matter ~every 'we sell linux-based machine' vendor on the fucking planet
asciilifeform: example of typical 100%-certifiably-worthless gpl compliance -- google's 'chromebook' www
asciilifeform: ( orig . 'the wolves are fed, but the sheep are whole' , i.e. all parties walk away content )
asciilifeform: ( how does that even go in engl. ? )
asciilifeform: 'и волки сыты и овцы целы'(tm)
asciilifeform: and 'declares victory for gpl' naturally.
asciilifeform: the ways these typically end : a) (most common) simply evaporates, no record of wtf happened to the case b) violator supposedly kowtows, 'complies' -- which 100% of the time in practice consists of putting up a tarball ~with the lifted orig turd~, none of the 'viral' provisions of gpl are given any attention at all , but hilariously the plaintiff ~eats this~
asciilifeform: lol
asciilifeform: ( various router makers, internet-of-shit vendors, etc. all piss on gpl, with impunity )
asciilifeform: aa yea there's 9000 of these. all evaporated.
asciilifeform: what even was this, i missed it
asciilifeform: (y'know, the thing that swaps registers in and out, traps i/o for simulating disk/nic, etc)
asciilifeform: which are ~100% documented in amd's datashits
asciilifeform: and the only iron trickery in virtualizers is re: the amd64( and intel's clone ) vmization extensions
asciilifeform: there's a number of variously-working clones nao, e.g. 'virtualbox'
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: their src iirc leaked in 2012
asciilifeform not currently equipped to distinguish these from the usual shannonolade , sadly
asciilifeform: 'where, sir, wouldja like this put !'
asciilifeform: ( speaking of entomological horror, today found https://archive.li/Efx3S in the glue trap : one of those chinese shannonized btc-flavoured liquishit items, but this time claiming to be a trilema article ! )
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: but not horrified at a half-MB 'diff', lol
asciilifeform: 'large enough projects' are bug
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794607 << apparently : 99995 ☝︎
asciilifeform: hmm looks like it
asciilifeform: mod6: it probably does not help that one has to hand-click 22 times to download this set. possibly you missed one?
asciilifeform: ( it does this for ben_vulpes's most recent key also. i still do not know why. )
asciilifeform: mod6: my old v99, however, gives eggog: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/5hA4U/?raw=true
asciilifeform: mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-09#1794439 >> i got totally different result, using your v.pl : http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/EixkY/?raw=true ☝︎
asciilifeform: how the fuq didja endure 2y of that, douchebag ??
asciilifeform: aa tradeschool
asciilifeform: douchebag: what/where exactly are you quitting ?
asciilifeform: meanwhile in entomology dept, http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2018/q2/21
asciilifeform: archive.is seems to be sad again
asciilifeform: and the 'fine arts bldg' lobby
asciilifeform: douchebag: palmer hotel
asciilifeform: lol, 'the coke can on the right'(tm)(r)
asciilifeform: ave1: but yes if you have updated addr plz gpg, it will go out mon or tues
asciilifeform: ave1: seems like they objected to ~my~ return addr
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ilkka kokkarinen had a hilarious piece iirc re the changing of words, in almost exactly this formulation
asciilifeform: aaaa
asciilifeform: phf: which list was this
asciilifeform: was thinking about something similar earlier.
asciilifeform: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-4-7#327417 << this is good idea , mircea_popescu , i'ma make it happen
asciilifeform: but apparently now ~envelope also~
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: gotta be. tho it dun fully explain it, there was whole separate form that got stapled to it, with names, addresses, errything short of fingerprint
asciilifeform: phf: yer bot is dead again ?
asciilifeform: ave1: i regret to say that us post office has a new and fresh fascism , they returned the fg : 'return address must show full legal name' (it had 's.' , for many years was ok, nao apparently not ) . pretty good scam they run, get folx to pay twice for postage, resending. next they will reject because white envelopes will be disallowed, i expect.. ☟︎
asciilifeform: interestingly, after half century pause, nagant rounds being made again, commercially -- iirc serbia
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: ( has that oddball expanding neck shell and cylinder that racks forward, closing the gap )
asciilifeform: nagant -- silenceable
asciilifeform: a good candidate for swedish minister of culture, i imagine
asciilifeform: and melpa of course being the 'modern' crapola repo that gives us such marvels as the 9000 dependencies of 'flycheck' ( see logz! ) and other liquishit.
asciilifeform: and of course it is not hard to find out ~why~ this happened : http://tahirhassan.blogspot.com/2016/03/installing-gnutls-on-emacs.html >> 'GnuTLS is needed for adding the https URL of MELPA to the package archive source list' ☟︎
asciilifeform: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/emacs-gnutls.html
asciilifeform: ( a fsfistic fork of openssl, naturally )
asciilifeform: which i had nfi even existed
asciilifeform: aaaand apparently emacs 25.3.r4 pulls in... gnutls ☟︎
asciilifeform: happy bday trinque
asciilifeform: clockism quite pervasive.
asciilifeform: trinque, phf : phunphakt, without clock set, cannot emerge even gnu screen, it fetches, yes!, from git, and 'ssl certificate not yet valid' didjaknow.
